Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in vascular endothelial growth factor gene VEGF, 1498C/T and 936 C/T are associated with colorectal cancer. We sought to determine whether such genetic variability in VEGF contributes to susceptibility of colorectal adenoma (CRA), a presumably precancerous state of colorectal cancer. In this research, two aforementioned polymorphisms were investigated for CRA susceptibility in a...
